Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
TOLEDO, july 27.-The National
and State Convention met and
was called to order at 4:30
p. NJ. Allusions by Temporary Chair
man Ryan to sheApan were received
with loud and vigorous applause.
The names of the Committee on
Resolutions were read. 1t consists of
DR.. Graydon, OF Hamilton, ex-Gov-
ernor Foster, Hon. John A. Byham,
Congressman Mckinley and f. B.
Taylor. This committee is the center
of interest, as the "Sherman resolu-
ton" is before it for consideration.
At l1P. NJ. the Committee on Reso-
lutions absolutely and unqualitiedly
endorsed Senator Sherman for Presi-
dental candidate by vote of Is to g.,
which was afterwards made unani-
nous.
When the announcement Of the
various committees was concluded
interest was at once excited by Hon.
Charles Grosvenor, OF Athens, rising
to offer resolution.
General Keller at once moved that
all resolutions go to the committee
without debate. This was adopted.
Mr.. Grosvenor then read the follow
ing resolution:
THE SHERMAN RESOLUTION.
Recognizing, as Republicans OF
Ohio always have, the gifted and tried
statesmen of the Republican party of
other States, loyal and unfaltering in
their devotion to the success of
the organization in 1888, under
whatever standardbearer the Re-
publican National Convention
may select, they have just
pride in the record and career of John
Sherman as a member of the Repub-
lican party and a statesman OF fidelity,
large experience and great ability.
His career as u statesman began with
the birth of the Republican party.
He has grown and deTeloped with the
growth of that organization. His
genius as statesman IS stamped on
the records of the party and the
statutes and constitution OF the coun-
try, and believing that his nomination
| for the office of President would be
wise and judicious, we respectfully
present his name to the people of the
United States as a candidate, and an
nounce our hearty support for him for
that office.
Immediately, Colonel J. Ct. Munson,
of GAINESVILLE, arose and offered the
ultimatum in the following resolution
Resolred, That we hereby pledge the
united and enthusiastic support OF the
Republicans of Ohio to the nominee of
the next Republican convention and in
this convention, we call the attention
of the Republicans OF Ohio to the emf
nent service and splendid career OF
Hon. John Sherman.
The convention then adjourned till
10 O'Clock tomorrow morning..
The two resolutions above given are
in the hands of the committee on reso-
lutions, which will probably work
most of the night. The opponents OF
the Sherman endorsement offer to let
the second resolution pass unanimous
ly, but declare that they will fight
Grosvenor on the floor to the bitter
end.
THE PLATFORM
which has been decided on reaflirms
the Dow law, ds,favors such addi-
tons thereto as seems to be deman-
ded by the enlightened spirit of the
age. 1t takes strong protective
ground regarding the tariff, and is en-
phatic in its condemnation of the inn
portation OF foreign contract labor. 1t
condemns the Democratic party of
Ohio in strong terms, and on other
points takes the usual Republican
position.
SHERMAN SPEAKS.
The Mansfield delegation of 600
strong arrived this afternoon with
bands and banners. They marched
to the hotel where Sherman is quar-
tered and were received by the Sena-
tor, who made an impromptu speech,
in which he said that everything was
settled and that Republicans would be
this fall united and victorious. every
voice in this state" he said, sis for
the denomination of Foraker as Gov
ernOr of Ohio"
Sherman further said that he be-
lieved that the meetings of to-day end
tomorrow will be the beginning OF the
good. time when the Republican party
will be restored.
THE ANTI-sHERMAN PARTY.
A meeting was held at 2 O'Clock this
afternoon under the leadership Of
Judge West, of Bellefontaine, who
nominated Blaine at Chicago in 1884.
1t was resolved that when
the Sherman resolution is
offered in the convention, to offer
substitute to the effect that this trib-
ute to Sherman for his services in the
past expresses entire confidence, but
makes no promises for the future. If
it fails the matter will be fought at
every step on the floor Of the conven-
ton.
